Birthdays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a bit late, but we have been busy. On March 5th we celebrate half of our families birthdays on 1 day. I was born March 5th, 1974, thanks Mom, I owe you one for having to endure that long process. On March 5th, 2004 I gave birth to Joey and Kimy. I am very lucky to get to have such a wonderful gift.

Here I am on 3/5/2005 just before I had Joey and Kimy.

This is the biggest I have ever been and I was ready to have them.

This is also me in the early stages of labor.

Joey was 6lbs. 10oz.

Kimy was 6lbs. 12oz.

Not to bad for being a bit early.

Joey and Kimy on their birthday this year. I swear she wore that crown for 2 days.

They have grown so much and are enjoying 1st grade. They are both reading and love to write stories. They are a huge joy to us and I can't wait to see what is in store for them.

Happy Birthday Meghan

15 years ago today I was walking into the hospital to have my first baby. We did not know if it was a boy or girl, what to expect, or how long it would all take. I had been dilated for weeks, and was happy to be in labor. Finally ready to meet the new person truly making us a family. After about 10 hours of labor and 30 minutes of pushing Meghan Elizabeth was born. She was beautiful, a little swollen in the face, but absolutely beautiful. All 8lbs. 15oz. of her.

Here she is at 3 months.

It has been a joy to watch her grow over the years. She has always been a kind and caring person towards everyone. She has a huge love for animals and of course her family and friends. She amazes me everyday with her drive to work hard at school, volunteer to help others and willingness to be there when someone needs help. I am so proud to call her my daughter.

Beginning of Freshman year

My hope for her is that she dreams big and accomplish all her goals in life.

Which for her is something I know she can and will do. I am a lucky Mom to be blessed with four kids, but even luckier to have a wonderful teenage daughter like her.

Happy Birthday Sweetie!
